0w-20 is for CAFE. In other parts of the world our engines can use oils up to 20w-50 depending on expected temperatures.
I got hold of the 2015 Australia recommended oils page awhile back. Chart is actually for the FJ.
The Middle East is different still, sorry don't have the chart.
15w-40 down to -12C / 10F
10w-30 down to -18C / 0F
5w-30 for 10C / 50F or LESS
I am currently running 5w-30 with zero issues and will be trying some 5w-40 and 15w-40 down the road a bit.
